What do you think that should look like?

Probably needs to have OO to integrate with existing APIs. Perhaps start with stronger typing. Maybe it doesn’t have NULL? Better boolean truthy-ness. Native tenplating like PHP. Rust-y numeric types e.g. u16, Namespaces, native  module syntax.

Imagine working with a language not designed in 10 days. what do you think? Blog posts welcome
